Xiaomi Redmi Note 11

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is a budget-friendly midranger that promises quite a bit of value. It has a slightly curved glass back with a smooth matte finish, a flat plastic frame, and IP53 rated protection against dust and light splashes. The phone boasts a 6.43 inch AMOLED display with a 1080p resolution, gorilla glass 3 protection, and a fast 90Hz refresh rate. Performance is a mixed bag, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset delivering decent CPU scores but struggling with graphics performance. However, it excels at thermal management and has great battery life, lasting up to 126 hours in our tests. The camera setup includes a 50MP main cam, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro cam, producing decent photos but with some noise and poor dynamic range. The phone's interface is Xiaomi's MIUI13 running on top of Android 11, which is straightforward and similar to previous versions. The Redmi Note 11 has a side-mounted fingerprint reader and expandable storage. Overall, it offers a solid build, nice display, stereo speakers, and great battery life, making it a good option for those seeking a budget device. However, alternatives with more powerful chipsets and 4K video recording are available, including last year's Redmi Note 10 model.
